Due to the crucial importance of learners taking their time and doing their best work, learners will be able to complete only one test per day. Each test is estimated to take about one to two hours to complete when done thoroughly and completely. If your child is testing on site, please be available to pick up your learner as soon as they finish testing. Learners should bring something quiet to do when they are done and should bring their own headphones, if possible.

If you opt to have your child complete their state test at home, the following guidelines need to be followed:

• Learner must be free from all distractions and in a separate and quiet room
• There must be NO interruptions throughout the duration of the test
• Their camera will remain ON at all times (there is no ability to turn off camera on the secure browser testing platform)
• Home internet must be reliable/strong

Please fill out this form indicating whether your child(ren) will be testing at home or in person. This will help us plan accordingly for your child’s testing schedule.

If special education learners will miss SAI sessions due to testing, please let Mrs. Neely know.
